Well there goes another glimmer of hope for the French.
Barbra Streisand honoured in France
Barbra Streisand performed her first concert in France this week and was rewarded with a medal of the Legion of Honour.
President Nicolas Sarkozy awarded the singer at a ceremony in Paris, the first time the new President had bestowed the honour on anyone since he took over last month from Jacques Chirac.
“You are the America that we love,” said Mr Sarkozy, seen as more US-friendly than his predecessor. “Women like you … do a lot to bring our two peoples together.”
The disturbing story included a photo of Sarkozy and Steisand together.
Ms Streisand told conservative Sarkozy he reminded her of former US presidents John F Kennedy and Bill Clinton, “who appreciated art, and recognised the importance of the arts in the world”.
Yeah, Big-Uns magazine photos are “art”.
And of course here’s my requisite photo of a display of French cheese.
